We’ve got an interesting battle this week. Back from the brink of doom (probably after making a Mephistophelian deal) Michael is firing on all cylinders. Red’s got a new home on the web, but didn’t join in the festivities. David channeled his inner Sondheim. It was a slugfest out there today…

• Michael launched an early salvo on Thursday, setting off EM devices in the atmo…
• Coyote scrambled bombers out of a secret Antarctic base while Crystal Palace struggled to come back online…
• Michael fired rail guns from orbit, leveling Cleveland and Minsk…
• David launched every missile out of every attack-hardened silo, leaving the Earth a smoking cinder.

There was a lot of pain, crying, and gnashing of teeth today. We lost a lot of good people (and a lot of deadwood too…nukes and railguns are indiscriminate.) Hapkido, shotguns, fisticuffs, and song were the weapons of choice this week, my good readers. Go forth and be amused.
